2018 | Zeitgeist Cellars | Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes barreling out of the glass with lively notes of fresh, ripe blackcurrants, black cherries, warm plums and menthol with suggestions of chocolate box and fennel seed. The full-bodied palate is softly textured with well-balanced acidity lifting the bright, crunchy black fruits to a long, purely expressed finish.

Producer Information

Zeitgeist Cellars was founded by winemaker Mark Porembski; later joined by his wife, also a winemaker, Jennifer Williams. Both work on Zeitgeist but also consult for several other small wineries in the area. Mark moved to the Napa Valley in 2000 and joined Anomaly Vineyards in St. Helena two years later; he has been the primary winemaker there since 2005. Jennifer’s first winery job in the Napa Valley was an internship at Beaulieu Vineyard. She was head winemaker at Spottswoode Estate from 2006 through 2010 and currently consults for several small premium Napa Valley based wineries. Mark’s background is not in wine – rather his degree is in poetry. He remembers first becoming interested in wine while in college even before he was of legal drinking age. While studying in Dallas he incidentally met two guys from St. Helena. We have met some winemakers in the valley who have truly followed their passion and thrown caution to the wind. Take Mark for instance; after college he packed everything into his car and drove out to Napa Valley without even lining up a job ahead of time. Fortunately, he arrived in 2000 during harvest when seasonal jobs are easier to find and as it were, he found a job the day he arrived. Jobs at notable Napa Valley wineries included Far Niente, Araujo Estate (now the Eisele Vineyard) and El Molino Winery.
